The main purpose of this research was to reveal the perceptions of secondary education students related to the concepts of “mathematics teacher” and “mathematics course” through metaphors. This research was designed qualitatively, and phenomenology research model was used. In this research, the phenomenon that was focused during the research process was determined as how secondary education students conceptualized their thoughts on mathematics teacher and mathematics course through the metaphors. The attitudes towards the mathematics course and mathematics teacher affect them mutually. Moreover, 6 th grade students resembled the mathematics course to the science course. Upon emergence of this situation, too much numerical subjects in the 6 th grade Science and Technology curriculum and encountering the subjects in mathematics course as well as in the science course was efficient. In accordance with these obtained results, it can be suggested to search for the real factors that cause...

In EFL or ESL classrooms there may be those learners labeled as “slow learners” who struggle to concentrate and thus experience failure inevitably. In this study, we deal with dyslexia and inattention (ADHD) because current research suggests behind the slowness of such learners may lie a disorder that can be controlled. We am going to focus on the inattention aspect of ADHD as it is more widely seen among adults rather than the hyperactivity aspect of that disorder (Volkow et al, 2013). Students with inattention and dyslexia show common symptoms and thus may have common problems (Marsha & Camahalan, 2006). The study design aims to help both teachers in class management and learners with learning difficulties cope with the expectations from an EFL learner, especially in terms of vocabulary and reading development. The method that we are suggesting is CALLA method (Chamot & O’Malley, 1996). We will specifically focus on explicit cognitive and metacognitive strategy training elements o...

One of the determinant factors contributing to the professional development of teachers is the school manager, since the school managers' administration manner determines the speed and capacity of development. With this study, the managerial approaches adopted at schools and their effects on teachers' professional development are aimed to be found out. That’s to say, within the context of the study, it's aimed to have a general knowledge of management approaches adopted by the directors at educational institutions and also to clarify the contribution of the managers to the professional development of the teachers. Parallel to the research objective, various research questions were formulated. Since the research aims to explain the substantial situation as it exists, it has descriptive quality. Besides, in the study, single and relational screening models are employed. The research results show that schools often use classical and neoclassical management approaches. Addit...

Introduction Having been in relation with the environment since the day he started to existed, human being has been producing thousands of tons of wastes every day. The production of harmful wastes, which is likely to be one of the features making him different from others, is one of the leading troublesome effects he has on nature. As well as almost everything turns into our environment in a harmful way, such a case results in a rapid reduction in natural sources we use. Solid wastes leading to pollution and appearing as one of the most crucial problems in the world of 21st century include any material becoming a useless object as a result of social and economical human activities and baring no fluid material and constitute a considerable pressure on the environment (Oktar 1992). Unless solid wastes are eliminated in secure and suitable way, they lead to pollution at underground and surface water, production of insects, emission of bad smell, noise pollution and spread of carrier g...

Eğitim sistemimizin temelini oluşturan yapılandırmacılık felsefesine göre öğrenme sadece öğrenene ve öğretene bağlı bulunmamaktadır. Bunların yanında öğrenme ortamlarının da öğrenmeye katkısının büyük olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bu bağlamda öğrenme ortamlarının yapılandırmacı anlayışa göre düzenlenmesi önem kazanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, sınıf öğretmeni adaylarının eğitim fakültelerinde düzenlenen öğrenme yaşantılarının yapılandırmacı anlayışa uygun olup olmadığına ilişkin görüşlerini çeşitli değişkenlere bağlı olarak saptamaktır. Araştırma genel tarama türünde, betimsel bir çalışma olup araştırmanın örneklemini 2014-2015 eğitim öğretim yılında Mersin Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesi’nde öğrenim gören Sınıf Öğretmenliği Programındaki 306 öğretmen adayı oluşturmaktadır. Bu örneklem grubuna “Kişisel Bilgi Formu” ve Arkün&amp;Aşkar’ın 2010 yılında geliştirdikleri “Yapılandırmacı Öğrenme Ortamlarını Değerlendirme Ölçeği” uygulanmıştır. Ölçek; öğrenci merkezli, düşündüren, işbirlikli, yaşamla ilgili, öğretim ve değerlendirmenin bir aradalığı ile farklı bakış açıları kazandıran olmak üzere altı faktör üzerinden yapılandırmacı öğrenme ortamlarını değerlendirmektedir. Araştırma sonucuna göre, sınıf öğretmenliği anabilim dalı öğrencilerinin öğrenme ortamlarının yapılandırmacılığa uygun olmadığı tespit edilmiştir.

The purpose of the research is not only to determine the level of perception of lifelong learning key competencies of administrators, teachers, and master trainers working for public education centers but also to find out whether or not this perception level of the sample reveals significant differences in terms of gender, profession, age, and years of experience. The research population included administrators (principals, chief deputy principals, deputy principals), teachers, and master trainers working for the public education centers in the province of Ankara during the 2015–2016 academic year. The research sample was comprised of 39 administrators, 124 teachers, and 172 master trainers, a total of 335 participants. The data were collected using the “key competences for lifelong learning scale” developed by Şahin et al. (Educational Research and Review, 5(10), 545–556, 2010). A cross-sectional survey design was implemented in conducting the study. The data collected were analyzed through descriptive and parametric tests (one-way ANOVA and independent t-test). According to results, regarding gender, there are significant differences between females and males with respect to levels of the dimensions of communication in the native language, communication in a foreign language(s), and as for digital competences. Considering the profession variable, there are significant differences between teachers and administrators and administrators and master trainers with respect to the dimensions of communication in native language, mathematical and basic competence in science and technology, and also in terms of digital competence. Age and years of experience are also important variables for the significant difference with respect to the dimension of communication in a foreign language(s).
